  • From Leonard's ridiculous literary theatrics to realising that they weren't even credited with the proverbial pinch of salt to Currie's and Ahern's holier than thou self-praise, the whole 'debate' left me cringing

  • oh deary me....where were we as a country thenand have we really changed? The last time Adams was on the Late Late Show, he had to confront the same unconstructive animosity. So many things make me cringe here - this ill-conceived or just simply arrogant view that we (I'm from the South) hold the same views as them or that if we don't, we should. I believe this very same arrogance has posed more of deterent to Unionist ever wanting to participate in any form of unity than Northern Nationalists.

  • gay byrne is a idiot!

  • Like him or hate him, Adams is highly articulate, intelligent and brave. He stood passionately for a cause that he believed in, and not to get rich or famous out of it

    McDowell on the other hand is just a knob. Now he's gone back to being a high-charging barrister. He doesnt believe in a cause, and just is in it for the money.

  • Comment removed

  • That prick Mcdowell it seems was always a nobhead.His gone back to been a barrister now after losing his seat for the second time,it will suit him to go into the courts that penalised Republicans for standing up against repression,as for austin currie he should go and stick his head up his freestate arse.

  • Fucking Free state bastards.Fair play to you Gerry.

  • @TranceInMyPants21 ta tu ceart

  • @LarryFogarty The IRA - they haven't gone away, you know Mo Chara ;)

  • @TranceInMyPants21 agus ta tu ceart mo chara

  • Gerry: "No I am not the same as the rest of you!"

  • can't believe the attacks against Gerry here, he does very well even get a word in here. You would think on the topic of a unified Ireland he would have very outspoken support on RTE.. a little bit ashamed of the politicians' attacks on Gerry here.

    I think his quote sums up what should have been recognised at the first Boundary Commission in 1924, "when something doesn't work you fix it".

    Fair play Gerry Adams.

  • A lot of negativity about the freestate but we were not that strong to attack the british so soon, we had them long enough we cannot afford to have them back, Gerry Adams is a legend but also a criminal i the underworld, what a pity, power corrupts

  • These Free State scum are the true hypocrites,they make me genuinely ashamed to be Irish

  • Well done Gerry for this interview despite these westbrits trying to interrupt you. These Free Staters don't have a clue what it was like and are still lecturing about what could be done for peace, if it wasn't for Adams they'd still be conflict in the North.

  • its great the way people from the south try to dictate what should be, live in a system were you are dirt, ideals are great, reality is alot different, the same fools that are giving Gerry Adams abuse are the same type of fools that abused the 1916 soldiers, Ireland got its independence on the back of very few and we stand as proud Irish men, JOKES and what are we going to do now after the Republic has been made a corrupt joke, i now Pearse,Connolly would be spinng in their grave.

  • how do these people in the south of ireland think they have the right to ask gerry adams about what was happening in the north. the south sold them out and then didn't give a fuck about the irish people in the six counties. ireland is a sham.

  • Gerry Adams is a fucking LEGEND!!

  • @buckass yes ur right.. and martin ...and mallon....and the rest ..god bless them...up the ra

  • How can these cunts claim to be irish and heckle adams like this? only for people like him all 32 counties would be under british rule

  • Well said Aoife379. I totally agree with you. As a man from Tipperary i too am ashamed of this 'State' and its attitude to our brothers and sisters in the North. To any Nationalist/Republican from the 6 counties reading this I say - For every free state traitor here in the 26 counties their is a true Irish Republican that will stand shoulder to shoulder with you. "Ireland unfree shall never be at peace".

  • would you look at the waz byrne is standing. surely it would have been more comfortable to sit beside grizzly adams

  • Comment removed

  • I would not have been a fan of Gerry Adams back then but I think he handled himself very well in this interview.

  • theyre not interested in loyalists, they cant point their finger at them, theyre dont even wanna know any other IRA, theyve already got their man

  • What was the obsession with punishment beatings all about?

    Seems such a minor issue to obsess about compared to the illegal partition of Ireland.

  • @dirtydawg1 until its ur mother thats takeing the beating

  • It's very shameful to see these politicians repeating British propaganda and sweeping the suffering of Catholics under the carpet.

  • now that he has failed to deliver peace and failed to deliver a united ireland his underlings are going to top him--maybe there is some truth to this karma thing after all........

  • o my fucking god iv never seen this gerry adams is so much more intelligent than them traitors and look at the republic now this is their legacy.

  • @irishkerry  Is Gerry not a traitor now?

  • the only true Irishman there wins that debate. o on GERRY

  • Adams is hilarious "I didn't ask you to shut up, i said stay quiet"

  • Good history lesson!! I was only 5 back then.. I'm starting to learn my history passionately now.. And pat kenny would probably have made a bigger balls of this!

  • Thanks a lot for this upload. Terrific seeing this again. Not just Adams showing what a brilliant man he is in all respects but seeing this whole ambush blow up in RTE's face was priceless.

  • FUCK the British. They attack a country and when there opposers fight back there terrorists.

  • true, a hope sinn fien get nothern ireland back, and get a united ireland, even though a have Rfc in ma name, am not a unionist, infact a dont even support them anymore cause am against the unionist, am scottish, am a nationalist, n a want to see nothern ireland free, and scotland free

  • Well said Klashk.

  • God bless you Gerry,keep well

    these cunts would interrogate gerry and then lick the brits boots,westbrit bastards

  • RTE was/is full of West Brits, Gaybo being a typical specimen - it was no shock watching this set up at the time. And fuck off Fianna Fail, we don't want you contesting seats in the north, they didn't give a fuck about the north for 70+ years, and now suddenly they are passionate about All Ireland politics?

  • @ulsterscotdik..you are just a pawn inthe world of british politics, they say jump you say how high.we will out breed you in 20to30 years. God bless Gerry Adams , TAL

  • The unionists get support from the UK BECAUSE WE ARE PART OF THE UK YOU TWATS..

  • @UlsterScotKeith You're a burden to the UK. Just because you want to stay in The Union doesn't mean the rest of The Union wants you there.

  • Don't know how anyone could accuse Dermot Aherne or Jim Kemmy of ambushing, bullying or anything other unfair tactics in this discussion. Gay Byrnes worst hour as a broadcaster.

  • what did gay do wrong?

  • @paddymourinho

    He attacked a Nationalist politician with his panel of scum. As Gerry said: "Would any of you like to live under British rule?"

    Do you even care about your country? (I'm talking about 32 counties)

  • i could kiss that nice old woman at 0:13 , who took up the point of the 200,000 legally healed guns in the north gaybo's face dropped he didn't like that one

  • Comment removed

  • Shut the fuck up, Gaybo!

  • call him a murderer with blood on his hands all you like , prove it! i personally dont think Gerry Adams has killed anyone and i believe that he has never agreed with the violent approach but that it HAD to be done to protect a catholic minority, these clowns dont seem to realise that. the panel seem no different than any british government, they seem certainly as corrupt. i want to see a united ireland, an ireland with Belfast as its capital, God knows it has earned it! if not then UK it is!

  • A good reasoned argument!

    I am an Englishman who doesn't buy into the media's portrayal of adams as some bully boy fascist! In my eyes he is just as much of a Irish nationalist hero as collins and de valera!

    Adams is very intelligent man, who I believe has tried to bring about peace without betraying his republican ideals, which is obviously a very difficult task!

  • i agree aoife ,northern nationalists will watch this and make the mistake of assuming that these west brit vermin represent the sentiments of the majority of the irish.this is not the case at all . they 're just very vocal and seem to be able to get their heads on telly all the time.

  • sinn fein recently lost many votes in republic along with elected members resigning from party.his arrogance here reflects the reason why the party needs to change.there are many votes waiting for sinn fein,its up to them to attract the electorate.

  • gerry adams is a great man who will be remembered long after those who criticised him (gaybo included) here will be forgotten

  • if this was an ambush than why did Gerry Adams go on Gay Byrne's REligious programme this year and say that he didn't like Catholicism anymore and that 'Methodists have the best deal. I tell them that'.

  • I am absolutely ashamed of my state, the Republic of Ireland, after watching these videos. Just because we have our freedom we don't care about the Northerners having theirs. I feel sorry for Northern Nationalists because they seem to get no support from this state while the Unionists get loads of support from Britain.

  • YES. I'M WITH YOU AOFIE.

  • Well said Aoife but at end of the day the taxpayer in this country gets bolox all from the government here also.

  • @Aoife379 I really agree with your comment..Gerry is representing a people and he feels he can move forward..he is not responsible for the actions of anyone but is only trying to see the situation as it is..but dont forget this is in the pale,..not the west or the south

  • Comment removed

  • @Aoife379 Don't feel sorry! This was the best thing that happened to SInn Fein since they went the peace route. Gay et al had absolutely no fucking idea what they were talking about and tried to tangle with a guy who had been involved in armed struggle, suffered, realised a political solution was the only viable alternative. Playing with these dickheads is like having a go on a bouncy castle for your serious Ulster politician.

  • @Aoife379 you have a lot of thumbs up.me too kid, they give you thumbs up but what will they do?

  • @Aoife379

    Pity the majority of Southerners didnt think like you Sir, the Troubles wouldnt of happened. As Adams said, the Brits armed the Loyalists and made bombs for them.

    What would all you people leaving in the South do if you were burned outa your house, intimitated, treated as 2nd class citizens by a biased and Unionist government/police force?

    Southerners shame the history of EIRE that Collins, Connolly, Pearse...ect fought for!

  • @Aoife379

    "MORE THAN half of Catholics in Northern Ireland want the long-term future of the North to be as part of the United Kingdom, while only 16 per cent of the overall population favour a united Ireland, according to a new survey."

    God bless Democracy!

  • @LoveTubeUSA well of course ,anyone can say this or that ,when it comes to polls ,when in fact there is only one poll that counts and thats the one taken at the ballot box ,which has returned sinn fein as the largest party in the six counties at the last election, so as someone that respects democracy ,such as your self ,i am glad that you recognize that fact ,so as an athiest i wont join you in thanking ,some invisable being for democrecy ,instead i will respect the inteligence of humans PART 1

  • @badslabber And alas like the 'invisable (sic) being', a United Ireland will also remain invisible judging by these poll numbers. In fact I see a tighter relationship developing between the Republic and Great Britain, and as witnessed by the recent Queen's visit, there is tremendous goodwill towards Britain and the British people on the island -- so any All-Ireland ballot election on a Uni-IRL will likely throw up an interesting result.

  • @LoveTubeUSA you still on about that poll ,did you not read what i wrote ,i said there is only one poll that matters ,the ballot box ,and as for the visit of MRS windsor ,did you not notice ,that the streets were empty :)

  • @LoveTubeUSA PART2 -in having the brains and free thought ,in being able to think for themselves ,and establish democracies ,so i will say thanks to free thinkers for DEMOCRACY!

  • thisd is how you end this. arm all sides to the teeth, let them fight it out and get it out of there systems. after they kill a couple hundred thousand of each other, all sides will tire of it and it will just all fade away. But when war becomes comfortable it will go on forerver. Make a bomb blow a few up go have beer, shoot a few in the streets go home have dinner, ahhh it will never end to it is fought out.When it becomes to real for all involved then it will end.

  • ireland forever

  • "Political Career..." ah Austin, what have you been taking all these years? You are a running joke in the north - you stand for noone, you have no mandate - and you suffered because you lacked any integrity and turned on the community from where you came. You never mattered and you were on this show merely as a puppet who would spew predictable rhetoric.

  • Hahaha, oh Gerry... "no internal settlement"? What are you doing now in 2009? You're making this last remaining part of British rule in Ireland WORK because you know you're not going to get a United Ireland!

  • fuck u yeah english bastard..go home

  • Haha, what an amazing argument, stilbuz. Swear and yell at me all you like, what I said is still true.

  • they condem adams, yet these free state bastards wreaked the 26 counties.

  • if the 6 counties comes in to the 26 counties these politicans might loose their scams they have going on brown envelopes changing hands etc..corruption is the thing they dont want changed

  • I AGREE ;-)

  • take it down from the mast irish traitors, its the flag we republicans claim, it will never beliong to free staters for you brought on it nothing but shame. southern political parties ae just as bad as the british tiocfaidh ar la

  • i agree with alaneire89 sometimes i feel ashamed to live in eire with them freestate bastards

  • Watch this space there goin to be a united ireland finna fail fine gael labour and the rest just want to fill there pockets.

  • orthodoxsteel is a prod.

  • Notice Gay Byrne's body language very uncomfortable with Gerry & was warned not to shake hands with Gerry under pain of been sacked! some television station that is, biased or what? The only thing in favor of Byrne though he was far better than his predecessor presenter the Robot Pat Kenny

  • adams is twice the politition any of them are

    and they know it!

  • How many Shinner TD's do you have in the South now? 2, 3?? Ha ha ha.

  • What is your problem?? not want freedom? Not want long term peace? it doesnt matter how many shinners we have now, Sinn Fein are the longest established party in Ireland. work in progress! Not want to be part of a new Ireland??

  • eire abu,gerry adams is a political mastermind
